 | | In July of 1962, eight months after the launch of the SIMCA 1000, the (956cc) Renault R8 was introduced, promising to be a redoubtable rival to the 1000. |
 | | The SIMCA 900 was introduced at 5,950 new francs (vs 6,490 NF for the basic 1000, 6,750 NF for the 1000 GL and 12,000 NF for the Coupe 1000). |
 | | At the opposite end, the SIMCA 1000 GL (Grand Luxe) was introduced and was distinguished by its metallic paint, chrome side trim, "GL" badges and cream naugahyde interior trim and seats. |
